The death of Noob's Blog & the future. Danger: Long post.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

As always, the TankiOnline administration has nothing to do with what I'm proposing and they are not responsible for anything in this. This is my personal hobby, feel free to check my post history over the years to figure out what I'm talking about.

Ok, not all of you may know me. But recently I ran a little bit of a campaign with giveaways. I didn't go into it much because of several reasons and stopped after a couple giveaways (the winners did receive their crystals! Feel free to ask them).

Here's what I learned from it:

 

• People were unhappy that a staff member won the first giveaway I did.
• 90% of the people were vary of it that it would be a "scam" to steal their emaill addresses, the only people who signed up were the ones that remember me from years ago. Hence a staff member winning it easily.
• It was purely based on luck, 10,000 crystals might be nothing for an old player but it's a lot for a new one. But in those giveaways both had equal chances of winning.
• People don't know how I buy crystals, your accounts are secure, I do NOT ask for passwords.

 

So I've come up with a solution:

 

• In order to qualify the people that sign up must be a minimum or maximum rank and meet other requirements.
• We'll try to focus on players that can't get their own crystals easily, so lower ranked individuals will be our first target.
• Some people might have noticed that Noob's Blog is no longer online. I abandoned the name and everything to do with it. Going to start fresh and new. (You'll get your calculators, don't worry)

 

And here's why I made this thread, would love some answers from you guys.

Noob's Blog is gone, for good. I don't mind putting it back up but let's face it, the name was horrible (I wasn't the smartest person back then). Anyway, I'm open to suggestions regarding the names and everything else. Afterall, it was a website for the community, not for me.

• Is anyone interested in writing stuff for the website? I'm willing to pay in crystals (and other stuff), we can discuss terms over Skype. (Again! TankiOnline is not responsible for these payments!)
• I know not a lot of you guys knew Noob's Blog (times change, most of the old players left the game) but it was a website for everything Tanki in the old days (there wasn't much of Tanki back then). But what would you like me to differently this time?
• Is there any thematic preference that you guys have?

 

My current checklist:
 

Red means I need your opinion, Yellow means it's on the list, green means it's done.

• A unique tanki related name for the website.
• Updated garage calculator and get drugs calculator back on.
• Update sales calculator.
• The ever awesome strategy guides.
• Interviews with people who everyone wants to talk to.
• Get a stable and faster website (Noob's blog was very slow for many people)
• Have a reliable and safe way of buying crystals for other people within 24 hours. (This took a while to figure out but now all I need is your username :) I spent a long time figuring this out (#SoProud)

Let's face it, Tanki is here to stay and I'm willing to stand alongside it for as long as possible.

 

Best wishes to all of you,

You say for a week or two, then you leave for a month, :(  

[r_Quick.Silver0 103]

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

I'm here, always and forever, but only show myself when I'm summoned by the tanki ritual. (Seriously though, contacting me is easy)

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

Cool, I'll be thinking.

Don't have skype :(

Sadly, Skype is love, Skype is life, I prefer chatting over Skype instead of actually calling, feel free to make one and add me. Sent you the details.

It's just a well formatted wall of text.

Yes! We're definitely going to do that. I'm just looking forward to having a team that's up to the task, I was pretty much alone last time and ended up getting caught in life!

 

Really sorry for stopping everything like that.

[AngeIs.And.Demons 1,988]

Looking forward Wasiq :)

This guy deserves a cookie for his hard work.

 

Good luck with your choices, and keep up the hard work!

[Eragon 13,876]

[VENOMOUS_VIPER_VV 6]

Add me bro ,well i cant understand your idea properly, but i know u are an good guy. And what's your Skype's id. And add mine this's account. @samuelmanasseh

[sam131192 113]

I'd like a salary of 100 k crystals for just checking out the blog everyday since everyone seems to be so eager to help you out pro bono. Jk,:p good luck!

Your blog was a great help to me in my early days when there wasn't much to guide one in tanki which is not the case now. Thanks for that.

[loktinho 62]

Payment in crystals (and other stuff), I'm interested in that other stuff. If it's good dough, a baker will never reject. 

 

Edit: hahaha I'm the only one here looking for dough. I guess not :3
